Chapter 23 Participating in martial arts (please collect and read)

In the courtyard, Shan Fang's face suddenly darkened as she walked out of the living room. She kicked the snow piled up against the wall with her embroidered shoes as if to vent her hatred, and loudly scolded the maid who was cleaning the snow in the courtyard.

The harsh words were harsh, and Shan Fang knew that Shan Wuju and his wife who were in the room would definitely be able to hear them.

Then, Shan Fang took her son Shan Yiwu and turned around to leave, not even taking a second look at the hem of her skirt that was soaked in snow.

A big man in brocade clothes followed.

From the time he entered the house to the time he left the house, Shan Fang's husband-in-law never spoke a single word except for a few words of auspiciousness when he kowtowed in greeting.

…

“Unfortunate family background.” As Shan Fang left, Shan Wuju showed a rare look of loneliness on his face.

He stared blankly at the entrance hall. Over the past few decades, this newly built mansion had become yellowed and dilapidated.

Moss and ivy sprout from the bottom of the courtyard wall that is less exposed to the sun. There are also a few yellowing weeds entwined on the dry ivy...

Shan Wuju moved his eyes slightly and saw several sections of corridor guardrails with paint peeling off. The wood inside them was black and rotten.

This old house was supposed to be a testament to the family's continued wealth for nearly a hundred years. It was enough to show off to the ancestors after death and become the envy of the people in the village...

But at this moment of solo martial arts, there was no joy in my heart.

“Master, I’m leaving first.” Seeing this scene, Wei Tu knew that he shouldn’t stay here now, so he bowed and said goodbye.

Shan Wuju nodded and agreed.

—The family is reunited on New Year’s Day, and Wei Tu is an outsider. It’s really not appropriate to stay here for a long time.

Son and disciple, after all, are not biological children.

…

Go out of the living room.

Weitu took a few breaths of the air-conditioning outside the room, and the coldness seeping into his chest from his nostrils made him wake up.

Just now, when he said those words, he was also struggling in his heart. After all, he was relying on others at the moment, and it was not good to say rejection.

But deep down in his heart, he really didn’t want to be someone else’s slave anymore. On the day of redemption, he thought of two options. In addition to taking the martial arts test, there was also the path of becoming a swordsman.

He and Xinghua collected enough money to redeem the deed that was stored in the Li family.

At Shan's house, he didn't want to sign an invisible contract to lock himself firmly here.

"There's still more than a month." Wei Tu looked up at the snowflakes flying in the wind, and walked towards his room.

Today's incident is just a small episode, and he will not delay his future because of it.

Health-preserving power.

Tiger and crane double-shaped fist.

He will continue to practice.

…

Ten days later.

Shan Fang found an excuse and left the Shan family with her son Shan Yiwu and her husband.

When he left, he took away a good horse from the single-house stable according to the previous agreement.

A few more days passed.

Shan Yangong and Shan Min also left Shanzhai, but unlike Shan Fang, Shan Yangong said hello to Wei Tu when he left, and asked Wei Tu to stay at his house when he went to Fucheng to take the imperial examination. ,You are Welcome.

To this, Wei Tu agreed.

He doesn't like to see Shan Fang, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like to see Shan Yangong. If possible, he also wants to "restore old friendship" with the Shan family.

He has never forgotten Shan Wuju’s kindness in teaching him.

…

time flies.

finally.

In February of the 24th year of Qing'an, the martial arts competition in Qingshan County was approaching.

Weitu bid farewell to Shan Wuju and prepared to leave the Shan family to take the martial arts examination.

However.

Just when Wei Tu picked up his luggage and walked out of Shan's yard, Shan Wuju rode out and stopped Wei Tu.

“In the martial arts examination, if you have a horse to shoot, but you don’t have a habitual horse, how can you get good results?”

Shan Wuju dismounted and threw the reins of the green horse in his hand to Wei Tu.

"I know you don't want to be greedy for my Shan family's wealth. I will lend you this green horse and return it after you finish the exam." "But by then, you will have achieved fame, and you may be able to buy this horse." ”

Shan Wuju said with a smile on his face.

Listen to this.

Weitu hesitated for a while, nodded, and tightened the reins in his right hand, agreeing to Shan Wuju's proposal.

In the Shan family, he is not that outspoken, and he will not deliberately refuse the daily necessities provided by the maid.

It's just that... war horses are still too precious.

The money he paid to redeem his body was only eighty-two cents.

This green horse, in terms of value, is equivalent to more than ten strong servants like him who are skilled in one skill.

He did not dare to accept this valuable gift easily, but the martial arts examination was too critical. It would not be good if the lack of a familiar horse would affect the competition and make a small loss.

“I know that our master and disciple have a grudge because I am such a girl.” Shan Wuju walked up to Wei Tu and patted Wei Tu on the shoulder.

Then he scolded: "But you and I, warriors, how can we be so petty and petty? How can we be so unhappy?"

"When you come back after your achievements, the master will give you a banquet and serve wine. You and I, the master and the disciples, will drink wine from big bowls and eat meat from big bowls, so as to meet the women and children."

His words were rough and powerful, and his voice was like a loud bell. It made Wei Tu standing in front of him feel itchy eardrums, and he almost became temporarily deaf.

"It's Master..." After a half-breath, Wei Tu regained his composure. He glanced at Shan Wuju and replied with a smile.

Most of the year has passed.

Shan Wuju seems to be more than ten years older, and he has a lot more gray hair on his temples. Although he is still strong, he is much different from Wei Tu when he first met.

After finishing his words, Wei Tu bowed deeply to Shan Wuju again, then got on his horse and left the river where Shanjiazhai was located on his green horse.

Driven for about seven or eight miles.

Wei Tu's riding speed slowly slowed down, and he sighed softly, recalling what Shan Wuju said just now.

He is not a pure martial artist. Practicing martial arts, practicing martial arts, and participating in martial arts competitions are all his efforts to transcend class.

However, if he could forget what happened before after having a drink with Shan Wuju, he would be willing to do so.

“I wonder if Xinghua and I’s future children will be like Shan Fang…”

“If that’s the case, I’m afraid I’m helpless.”

Wei Tu shook his head, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, then flicked his whip and walked away.

…

Back to Qingmu County.

Wei Tu planned to find an inn first, rent a room, and then keep the green horses in the inn's stables, waiting for the martial arts examination to start in a few days.

Today.

He is no longer a stable boy of the Li family, so it would not be appropriate for him to stay with the Li family again.

As soon as Wei Tu walked into an inn, he was shocked by the price offered by the shop.

The rental fee for each room has increased several times compared to before.

Even the price of a firewood shed is several times the price of a house in the past.

Hear the store’s explanation.

Wei Tu then remembered that it was the Wenju County Examination a few days ago, and many Confucian scholars from Qingmu County and Township went to the county to take part in the imperial examination.

at this time.

This is the time when it is hard to find a room in an inn.

“The county examination is divided into a main examination and three subsidiary examinations.”

“Yesterday, the group case (list) was posted at the county government office. In three days, the sub-examination of the county examination will be held, and many candidates will be eliminated.”

“The price will be cheaper then…”

“Would you like to rent it first?”

The storekeeper continued.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu shook his head, walked out of the inn, turned around and led his horse towards Li's house, intending to stay at Li's house for a few nights.

He already owed Li Yaozu a favor, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he owed another small favor at this time.

Thanks to Rising Power for the 100 starting point coin reward, and for the 100 starting point coin reward for Beacon Fire City Kill.
